Yes Allen,
These bulbs will shatter if they get wet. But it works on my sheltered porch
and with a heat shield around the bulb. So far so good, even when we had big
80 mph gusts with blowing snow/sleet. Keeping my fingers crossed it lasts
through the season!

I banded a RTHU adult female in December at a house where the host put the top
part of a tube sock (foot part cut off) around a glass feeder and put one of
those 10 hour hand warmers between the sock and the feeder. It worked well for
the daytime hours, and she took the feeder in at night. Temperatures weren’t
that cold for those of you way up north (only at 25F), but the hand warmer kept
the sugar water warm all day.

Regarding this feeder ... be aware that it can take QUITE AWHILE to receive one
that has been ordered. I have a host in Louisville who ordered one the first
week of December and it *still* has not come in. I presume these folks are
being inundated with orders and having a hard time filling them??? This host's
bird, a HY M RUHU, did not stay past Christmas, so she has ordered one for a
bird that has departed; I told her I would buy it from her when it comes in if
she wants, then I will have one to loan to hosts in my area. We had a HY F RUHU
winter in a yard in west KY last year using one of them.

Yes, as a matter of fact. I own one myself and I have a current winter hummer
host who is using one with her return RUHU. Plus I have recommended them to
others who have purchased them.
It's a good alternative, and easy to use.

Everyone,
Does anyone have experience with this product:

It might be an additional alternative for those of us under the arctic ice
sheet who also host hummingbirds. More and more, homeowners are telling me that
it is getting harder to find an incandescent spotlight, as mainly LED versions
are available now, which put off good light, but less heat.
